Chapter 1218 1210: Festive Decorations
"Hehe, I don't mind. The Commandery Princess is straightforward and also a person of true temperament."
Qin Yang shook his head slightly and said with a smile.
"Uncle Bai, esteemed Elders, Commandery Princess, Elder Sun Cheng, please enter the hall."
Qin Yang spoke to everyone, as standing here for long was not proper hospitality.
Thereupon, under Qin Yang's guidance, the group entered the hall of the Lord's Mansion.
Nangong Feiyang, Zilan, and others soon engaged in conversation with Bai Shuang, Bai Fatty, and Xia Yu'Er, as they were all young people.
"Lord, there may be other families coming to congratulate us later on. Shouldn't we decorate the Lord's Mansion a little?"
Elders Qingmu and Chi Huo stepped forward proactively and asked respectfully.
Hearing this, Qin Yang thought for a moment, then nodded. Since the Bai Family and the Marquis's Mansion had come, other families from Celestial Cyan City would likely show their presence as well.
"Alright, let's liven things up tonight. You two go ahead and arrange it."
Qin Yang said to Qingmu and Chi Huo.
"Yes, Lord."
Qingmu and Chi Huo gladly accepted the order and went off to decorate.
"Tao Ran, Patriarch of the Tao Family from Celestial Cyan City, here to congratulate the Lord."
"Miss Linglong, Master Yan from Celestial Permanence Commerce Association, here to congratulate the Lord."
"Zhou Family from Celestial Cyan City, here to congratulate the Lord."
"..."
At the entrance of the Lord's Mansion, voices delivering congratulations rang out.
What Qin Yang didn't expect was that even people from the Tao Family and Celestial Permanence Commerce Association came to congratulate him.
Moreover, there were three to four dozen families from Celestial Cyan City of various sizes, all considering themselves worthy enough to come to Wind Ridge Town to celebrate.
"Our new lord is truly impressive; nearly all the forces from Celestial Cyan City have come, haven't they?"
"Yes, even the Bai Family and the Marquis's Mansion are here, so naturally, other forces are present too."
"..."
Outside the Lord's Mansion, the cultivators of Wind Ridge Town witnessed the unending stream of families arriving to congratulate, gaining further respect and awe for the Lord's Mansion.
Nightfall descended.
At this moment, the Lord's Mansion was freshly adorned.
Bright red silk ribbons were tied everywhere within the mansion, with large red Spiritual Power Lanterns hung up, and maidservants in red dresses moving about.
The entire Lord's Mansion was brightly lit and festively decorated.
This was the first task Qin Yang entrusted to Qingmu and Chi Huo, who were especially eager to recover Qin Yang's impression of them, making extra efforts in the decor.
Qin Yang hadn't expected the two to decorate the mansion this grandly, but he let them proceed with it.
The banquet hall in the Lord's Mansion was extremely spacious.
Qin Yang sat alone at the head seat, with two long rows of guest seats below him, now fully occupied.
The Commandery Princess from the Marquis's Mansion, Elder Sun Cheng, Bai Qingtian, and the Bai Family elders, followed by members from the Tao Family and Celestial Permanence Commerce Association, as well as patriarchs from various families of Celestial Cyan City.
Maidservants clad in red carried various delicacies and fine wines to the tables.
Qin Yang had even prepared a medicinal dish from a Commander Level Demon Beast he had previously slain for the guests to enjoy.
That delectable dish combined with the tender meat of the Commander Level Demon Beast left the guests praising in delight.
The banquet that night was truly a joyful occasion for both host and guests.
As the guests in the Lord's Mansion were conversing joyfully, far away at the Blood Evil Sect, the atmosphere was shrouded in dusk.
Under the nightfall, Blood Maple Mountain appeared particularly tranquil.
At the mountaintop of Blood Maple Mountain.
A towering, blood-colored palace sat in the night.
This was the main hall of the Blood Evil Sect, the Blood Slaughter Hall.
At this moment, inside the grand hall, several figures were seated on elevated meditation mats.
In the center was a middle-aged man dressed in dark purple robes, none other than the Sect Leader of Blood Evil Sect, Xue Mingzi.
To the left of Xue Mingzi was an elderly man with white hair and beard, a slightly chubby face, wearing a robe with golden hem patterns; he was the Grand Elder of Blood Evil Sect, Xue Yan.
To the right of Xue Mingzi was an elderly woman with silver hair, holding a Blood Jade Staff; she was the Third Elder of Blood Evil Sect, Xue Hong.
Besides these three, there were several other elders from the Blood Evil Sect on the meditation mats, including Elder Xue Yue, who had previously escaped heavily injured by Qin Yang.
"Sect Leader, that little brat named 'Qin Yang' has already shown himself and taken the position of the Lord of Wind Ridge Town. The Bai Family, Marquis's Mansion, and other families all went to congratulate him, and now that brat is hosting a grand banquet, enjoying himself immensely."
Elder Xue Yue's old face, lined with wrinkles, showed a trace of gloom.
That night, she almost died at the hands of that little brat. If she hadn't burned her Essence Blood and performed the Blood Escape Skill to flee, she would be dead by now.
Now the sword scar stretching from her left shoulder down to her waist still mildly aches.
"That little brat is truly bold, killing the disciple the Supreme Elder wanted to recruit and severely injuring Elder Xue Yue, while being wanted by our Blood Evil Sect, yet now daring to openly show himself, seemingly placing no importance on our Blood Evil Sect."
On one meditation mat, a black-robed elder furrowed his brow and said in a deep voice.
"Indeed, and these families in Celestial Cyan City are also quite reckless, joining together to congratulate that little brat."
Another Immortal Venerable Realm elder dressed in a blue robe said with a stern face.
"Sect Leader, Grand Elder, Third Elder, we must severely punish this little brat, or else entire generations in Celestial Cyan City will forget our Blood Evil Sect's reputation and methods."
Elder Xue Yue looked towards the central figures: Xue Mingzi, Xue Yan, and Xue Hong, and said coldly.
Upon hearing this, the eyes of Xue Mingzi and the other two flashed a chill.
The silver-haired Third Elder Xue Hong paused for a moment, and the blood jade staff in her withered hand emitted a cold, dark glow as she coolly said:
"I concur. Ever since Elder Xue Kuang and the trio of Ling Yun, Zhao Feng, and Hou Tong were killed, the perpetrator has never been found, which has already damaged our sect's reputation. Now, this brat called 'Qin Yang' showing himself blatantly amounts to a provocation against our Blood Evil Sect. If we remain inactive, we're likely to invite much ridicule."
In truth, within Celestial Cyan City's vicinity, the sect most feared by various cultivators would be their Blood Evil Sect.
The Blood Evil Sect has always acted ruthlessly, combined with most members being Blood Cultivators, their methods are bloodthirsty, more intimidating than those of the Marquis's Mansion, Divine Sword Sect, and Piaoling Palace.
Now, if they're openly provoked and do nothing, their authority will surely plummet.
"Haha, there's no one in Celestial Cyan City's vicinity daring to run wild over our Blood Evil Sect's head!"
Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder Xue Yan's eyes also flashed a cold gleam.
After his words, all the elders present looked towards the central figure, Xue Mingzi.
Xue Mingzi's expression turned somber upon seeing this, but instead of immediately responding, he looked at the black-robed elder: "Elder Zhao Han, has the investigation into that brat 'Qin Yang's identity been completed?"
"No."
Elder Zhao Han shook his head slightly, with a slight somber expression, he continued: "The exact origin of that brat, from which sect he hails, remains unclear. We only found that he first appeared in Wind Ridge Town."
"Despite that, the little brat's talent is indeed remarkable; none of the significant sects and families within the Great Xia Dynasty have any record of such a person, and even in neighboring dynasties, no news of such exists."
"I suspect he's likely a Loose Cultivator from somewhere unknown, who stumbled upon some fortuitous opportunity enabling him to possess such cultivation at this young age."
After Elder Zhao Han spoke, he glanced at Xue Mingzi.
Upon hearing this, Xue Mingzi paused for a moment, then a cold gleam flickered deep down in his eyes, and he nodded slowly.
"Grand Elder, Third Elder, Elder Xue Yue, Elder Zhao Han, we must deal with this child. I'd like you four to personally visit Wind Ridge Town. If possible, aim to capture him alive; I'm quite intrigued by his origin!"
Xue Mingzi's eyes showed a trace of cold light as he looked at Grand Elder Xue Yan, Third Elder Xue Hong, and the other two.
That brat only broke into the Immortal Venerable Realm over a month ago; with Grand Elder Xue Yan and Third Elder Xue Hong taking action, plus Elder Xue Yue and the black-robed Elder Zhao Han, it should suffice to capture the brat!
"Leave it to us."
Upon hearing this, Xue Yan and the other four nodded in agreement.
